Sheet Pan

Ingredients

1 stick butter 1/2 cup
1 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
1 bag frozen dinner rolls (36 rolls), kept frozen until ready to use
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the garlic until blended and smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
Dunk the frozen dinner rolls in the garlic-butter and arrange them on the prepared pan. The rolls will be touching each other and squished together; and that's OK. If you run out of room, arrange any leftover balls on top of the first layer.
Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise, at room temperature, until doubled in size, about 3 to 5 hours, depending on the temperature of your kitchen.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes, until puffed up and golden brown. Top the rolls with the cheese and return the pan to the oven, at 375 degrees. Bake for 3 to 5 more minutes, until the cheese melts.
